Superheroes and Villains - Marvel Villain

Hi Goddesses

Oh boy, here we go. This is a challenge and a half lol. 4 weeks of Superheroes and Super-villains. 1 week each for Marvel, DC Comics, Disney and then a freestyle week. It sounded so much fun ..... especially as we have a kick ass cast of British Polish Blogging Super-Goddesses.

Until I had to actually do it lol. Annoyingly, I found that most of the characters I wanted to do fit into just 1 of the eight categories, so it's been real thinking cap stuff. God bless the geekworld and their wonderful websites of lists and lists and lists of characters - without them, I'd have been screwed.

Let me just put this out there, right now - this is just about the lamest post you're ever going to read from me lol. I could NOT find a character that I knew enough about so in the end I settled on Magneto, who is apparently one of the villains in X-men, though I have no idea whether he's the one from Star Trek or Gandalf.

Anywaaaaaaay, I had no idea who he was or what to do for my nails, and then it hit me like a Flash (a-haaaaaa) - Magneto / magnetics. So yup, this post is an excuse to try out my 4 new Barry M magnetics.

Super Comic Book Geek fans, I am SOOOOOO sorry, you have no idea how much I tried on Sunday to be inspired, but it just didn't work. So yes, this one's lame, but Thursday's isn't - ok ? Do we have a deal ?

I'm going to do a separate post later in the month on these babies, because I was VERY impressed, both with the polish AND the pattern on the magnet (I'm particularly loving how cool the index finger looks). Left to right you have Dark Silver, Purple, Blue and Burgundy - hey, it's Barry, what do you expect ?!

So, yes, if you want to know more about this Magneto chap, here's a link .... trust me, I have a MUCH better mani lined up for the Hero, on Thursday :)
